scallops, latkes, guacamole


In the late eighties, I remember cooking this dish countless times: a potato latke topped with some guacamole and a seared scallop. I have since tinkered with the dish so many times that the original has been lost forever. I can still remember how good the dish tasted at first, and I still have not found a way to recreate it.

I tried again on New Year's Eve with a risotto cake, avocado dip and a seared scallop. I served it on a little tomato coulis for acidity, it turned out watery and flat. The quest continues.
